Australia rugby flanker Rob Valetini has declared himself “good to go” for the second British and Irish Lions Test in Melbourne in a significant fitness boost for the Wallabies.

Valetini, among Australia’s standout individual performers over the last couple of years, missed the opening clash in Brisbane as he worked his way back from a calf issue.

The 26-year-old was sorely missed at Suncorp Stadium with the hosts short of forward collision-winners in a 27-19 defeat, with lock Will Skelton another significant injury absentee.
